At Thursday’s proceedings, counsel to the defendant, Tony Krukrubo, had informed the court that he was yet to be served the additional proof of evidence.
According to the court bailiff, all attempt made to serve Gambaryan the documents in Kuje Prison on April 30, did not work as he refused to accept the service.
He added that Gambaryan had told him to serve the documents on the first defendant’s (Binance Holdings Limited) lawyer since the first defendant now has legal representation of its own.

The matter was subsequently adjourned after the service.
The judge said, “This matter will now be adjourned till May 17 for trial”.
